Nintendo eShop - June 2019 | Where a friendly banana, a cursed demon huntress, a brave salaryman and a Zelda musical adventure come together
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
Fuuuuck, I waited too long to get one of these vouchers.
I guess the cheapest place for UK people is now actually the UK store, unless people are aware of South Africa/Norway/other PAL regions that aren't Australia that would be cheaper to the £.
Have you played it on another platform?? Curious to hear about it. I love rogue lites and it looks great
I bought Crypt of the Necrodancer and the game is pretty fun, altough I've been told Cadence of Hyrule is way simpler : should I begin with Cadence of Hyrule or just play Crypt ? Thanks
I've only read reviews via steam and watched a few videos but it look's like it's right up my alley.
Cadence is indeed way easier but not necessarily simpler; they have different systems and structures, but IMO it's better to get accustomed with Crypt before jumping in. Cadence is also technically a sequel and has a few throwbacks, so you get more out of it playing it after Crypt.
Not on eShop but Amazon has both FFX and FFXII on sale for $35. I bit on FFXII. Can't start a thread, so I put the information here

Must resist buying Space Harrier right away... totally getting Devil May Cry though, I've got a few other games on my immediate buy list, but I think I'll finish Cuphead first.
Which, is going super well. Almost done with world 3 now, gotten A ranks on the Iron Giant and Tom and Jerry inspired bosses, feel like I've definitely woken up my previous skill on the game, as neither took very long to do. Can't wait to hit expert mode to really challenge me!

I had the feeling that something was missing but I didn't know what it was. Thanks.
Im left ultimately disappointed by Kamiko, the first run was great but unfortunately the runs with the other 2 characters dont change anything about the levels, and they are worse to play too (the archer especially feels atrocious), and to top it all, nothing happens when you beat it 3 times, so theres little reason to even do it, and one run only lasts about 45minutes... I know I know budget title, and I still think it was well worth the 2€ but I was expecting something more after finishing it once.

You and me both! Looks super fun. Here's a really interesting video I found that explains how the game stays fresh over many playthroughs:
Got so many things to play on Switch. And Steam summer sale is tomorrow! I'm hoping to keep my spending less than 50 tomorrow.
I still want to get Bloodstained and Mario Maker 2 this week.

He probably intentionally disregards release dates for these games after SEGA's constant delays and mismanagement. I know I would. lol
I may pick up Bloodstained, but I'm still obsessed with My Time at Portia, so who knows when I would get to it. Anything else big coming this week?
I've been playing my way through Monster Boy on Switch. I really like the game but some parts are just a chore and are way too hard. Also the game seems overly long! I've just finished - am I near the end of the game? I've clocked up over 25 hours and kinda wish the game ended sooner!
Why are you buying digital games for a system you don't own yet. I mean, I would understand if they were physical copies, but it's not like Nintendo is gonna run out of digital copies.
Ah, okay. I would still imagine this kind of situation to be such an outlier that Nintendo doesn't give it much thought. Though Nintendo customer service is fantastic from the few times I've had to call them.
10 hrs is more than fine and it's only $40. Also, this 360 view needs to be standard in VNs.
Thanks for the heads up. Played through the demo on my lunch break and it seems legit. 👍
I'd like to do a shout out for Dandy Dungeon coming out this week, especially as a preorder with that discount. It's made by the guys who did Black Bird, and it was super fun on mobile. Support Onion Games!*

The knock seems to be that it seems overpriced even with discount compared to the mobile game it's based off of (though no microtransactions).
Apparently people are saying Bloodstained on Switch isn't good and doesn't run well. I guess I'll go back and get a Steam version instead, it is cheaper through the 28th.
Yeah the game isn't "tight" in its design. Especially RIGHT before you fight the end boss you go on an epic fetch quest all over the map to get the thing. I enjoyed the game because my kids LOVED watching me play. But if it was just me playing, then yeah I'd agree. It was a little too bloated and couldn't been like 5-10 hours shorter for my tastes.
Awesome game though. You get your money's worth!
Yup $40 is a lot for a digital game (for me) to take a "risk". I'm willing to spend <$20 on a digital game when it's Indie and if it's not at 100% performance, but I know will be patched later (Dead Cells, Gungeon, Slay the Spire). But yup, $40. Too much for me.
Don't buy Bloodstained on Switch. Very muddy looking and bad input lag with a Pro controller. Buy it on a different system or wait to see if they patch the Switch version.
Wow, I had no idea Monster Boy was that kind of length. I guess I'd kind of figured it would be more the kind of 5-10 hour range of something like The Dragon's Trap
For the most part, I think Switch eshop pricing has spoiled me to where I see a full $60 retail release and think twice, where I used to never bat an eyelash at it. $60 was just what games cost.
At the start of the month I was thinking of getting Bloodstained but last week, I thought that I'll just wait until it gets patched more and then decide whether to get it on Switch, Steam, or PS4. So, I bought Smash Bros. Ultimate instead and having a blast unlocking characters just by playing Smash mode with my daughter. I think I made a good decision.
Thanks!
And I was so hyped to be getting a new Igavania but after following the Bloodstained thread, I just thought that it wasn't worth getting yet.
I finished Katana ZERO tonight.
WOW. I know this game got a lot of criticism on this thread about its game length, I think it's perfect. The game's story ends on an arc, and then setups a sequel with a "To be Continued..." but where it ends, makes sense. According to Steam it took me 5 hours. I felt like that's about perfect, the game doesn't overstay its welcome and the game doesn't feel bloated or has any filler whatsoever.
The story is WOW. I think this is the best example of "Art Violence". I mean, here you have a "16-bit" game doing violence in such a way that makes you feel... gross and queasy. I mean, that's an accomplishment for freaking pixel art! And I didn't feel like it felt it was doing this violence for cheap thrills. It all felt apart of the very mature/disturbing story it was trying to tell.
It's a great gaming "experience". It's a perfect example of why games don't need to be about "dollar per hours of game play" or things like that. As weird as this sounds: Katana ZERO is the best "video game art" I've played in a long time. The game play reasons for dying and retrying are connected beautifully into the game's story and presentation. Everything in its design is purposeful.
I honestly can't think of anything about the game I didn't like. Probably the violence. It was intense. But like I said, it was integral to the game's artistic experience, so it worked. It's honestly the first M-rated game I've finished since The Last of Us on PS3.

I'm getting Bloodstained for Switch because that's where I got Curse of the Moon and portability. Graphics usually don't bother me that much.
I thought the length was fine. It was a neat mechanic but it would have worn thin if the game went on too long.
Just warning but there's input lag with playing with a Pro controller.
Agreed. I want to play it again for the story/music more than the game play, which IS great!
Shame about the reports of a bad Bloodstained port. I was looking forward to playing it. Oh, well. I guess this frees up $40 for me. CTR or TSR?
Not buying another game until I get release dates for Bulletstorm and Grid Autosports. Seriously I need release dates.
